Siege of Orgrimmar HC Malkorok Easy Phase 2

[rage5]

Hey since it's been out there for a while, I want to share with you an exploit which makes the boss fight during phase 2 easier.

As soon as your Raid triggers Phase 2, you have to stack in front of Malkorok, while he's damaging in a cone in front of him, you have a chance to receive a debuff called Displaced Energy. This debuff roots you on the ground and is going to explode as soon as it runs out or get dispelled and doing high damage to people in range.

The exploit is, having two druids in your raid setup.

About 2-3 seconds after Displaced Energy is applied, one of your druids have to use Stampeding Roar, it will dispell the debuff without triggering the damage ability of it. Displaced Energy is applied two times in phase 2, that's why you need two druids for it.
So you're able to completly dodge this ability without taking any damage, another advantage of this exploit is, that your raid is able to stick together and the cleave of Malkorok, during phase 2, is split up on 10/25 man which allows your "orb cleaning crew" to run out and clear the room, without thinking about not having enough players in front of Malkorok.

I've wondered that there hasn't been a thread about it on the forums yet, at least I haven't found anything in searching for: Malkorok, Malkorok Phase 2. If it's a repost I'm sorry and the thread should be removed by an moderator.

Have fun and good luck killing Malkorok mates!

Doesn't this merely get rid of the root mechanic of the debuff without actually dispelling the damage component?

[jacobmohan]

This would be good but... The fight is 100 times easier on heroic if you have 1 tank take the cleave with all external and personal cooldowns and have the raid group stay out.
So the raid is already spread out therefore this is useless.

IMO this is completely useless, having a lot of people stack in p2 is so mush harder than solo tanking it. Any tank can solo tank ni 10 HC and probably a monk or a pally can do it in 25 HC

Work as intended and lot of guild do this includ mine

Been the strat since day 1(25m), not an exploit.

[dawawe]

Not an exploit, its even in most of the guide videos including fatboss which everyone watches

[rage5]

I guess you guys don't know what exploit means :-)

Sorry for spamming and trying to support :-P

[^oximo^]

If this actually remove the full debuff (not only the snare part) without damaging anybody, yes it's an exploit. You can't get rid of the damaging part of the debuff with a "classic" freedom (hand of freedom, master call..).

Anyway, does it works the same way with shaman totem ?

No unfortunately it doesn't, two druids are required to make the exploit work.
Windwalk totem will remove the root, but as soon as the debuff runs out or is getting dispelled, it damages in 8 yards.

Works, although not an exploit.

Just smart usage of mechanics.

[TehVoyager]

Not working as intended, but well known.

[alucard1]

It's working as intended, but also not at the same time.

Hand of freedom and windwalk totems grant you immunity to movement impairing affects; Stamp roar, REMOVES snares/roots, so yes... working as intended for that portion.

The exploit is the fact that when it removes the debuff, it doesn't explode which it should.
